question for OZ quilters

Mar 04, 2009 2 Replies

Someone at guild mentioned that fabric and tools will be collected at the Rosemont show in April to be sent to Australian quilters who have lost everything. I have at least thirty-six 12" blocks left from a block swap. I thought I would put them together to donate at the show but was wondering about a typical size. Any advice on what is practical? For my own throw type quilts I like 55" by 72". Would that fit a single bed?



An American military wife is also collecting blocks to make into quilts while she is living in Australia. She plans to make her quilts



60" by 60". Is that a typical size?

If time gets short I will just have to send the squares but thought a finished quilt would be better.

Not sure about sizes, but a lot of the quilters down in Victoria lost everything and would probably welcome anything from bits of fabric to finished tops. The local quilters guild up here was/is collecting all sorts of things from tools to books and fabric.

On a quick measure of DS's single bed 55" by 72" would be a bit wide and a little short, mattress measrues roughly 38" by 75"

Here a single bed (looked at a good quality store so this is the recognised usual size, not 'economy') is 3' x 6'3". Height from the floor depends on how thick the mattress is.

Two single beds = twin beds!
